Russia launches counterattack against Ukraine in retaliation to strike on border city

Russia has begun hitting back at Ukraine in retaliation to yesterday’s attack on the border city of Belgorod that killed 24 people and injured 108 others. Most of the new attacks ordered by Russian President Vladimir Putin hit the city of Kharkiv in the east of Ukraine. A hotel, apartment blocks, homes, and hospitals were hit, with at least 28 people injured – according to Ukrainian authorities. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has vowed retribution. This is the latest in a flurry of tit-for-tat aerial attacks by the two countries.
